Plan price and additional costs.
Your monthly plan covers the software listed above. Texting, email, donation processing, and optional services have separate charges. Review the rates before choosing a plan.
Texting
Prepaid: 2¢ per SMS segment (up to 160 characters; 70 with emoji) · 10¢ per photo message · 15¢ per video message. Texting setup: $99 one time per committee — covers your 10DLC brand and campaign registration and Campaign Verify, taken from your messaging balance when you submit. Line fee: $19 a month for your texting number, plus $3 a month for any additional number you hold. Prepaid balance. A text campaign send is charged when it starts, for every number on it that hasn't opted out, whether or not each text is sent or delivered. Top-ups start at $100. Balances are non-refundable and are used only for your campaign's messaging. Send it yourself or have our team run it — same rate either way.
Email
$25 to $425 a month by list size, from 500 to 50,000 contacts. Each month includes twelve sends to your full list; past that, $2 per 1,000 emails from your messaging balance.
Ad placement
10–15% of your ad spend, and the rate comes down as the spend goes up. Our team places buys on Meta, Google, X, and programmatic through Basis.
TV-ready ad production
From $2,500 a spot — a broadcast-quality ad, produced by people, ready to hand a station.
Voter file
Bring your own at no charge — importing it is a core feature. Need a fresh district file? We source it at member pricing and do the upload and the merge for you. Ask us for a quote on your district.
Renegade Raise
2% platform fee on gifts processed through Renegade Raise, plus Stripe's standard processing fee. On a $100 gift, Stripe takes about $3.20, the platform fee is $2.00, and your campaign nets about $94.80. Gifts go straight to your campaign's own Stripe account and land in your contribution ledger, your FEC Form 3 draft and the donor's voter profile.
Everything else
Included. Every seat you invite, unlimited campaigns and clients in your workspace, and all your data exportable any time.
First-month example — November 2026
For illustration: your first month on Operative is November 2026, you hold one texting number in November, and one campaign send starts after texting approval that month. The send has one version, one SMS segment per text, and 1,000 people on its list who have a phone number and haven't opted out when it starts.
Operative: $500
One-time texting setup: $99
November texting line: $19
Campaign start charge: 1,000 × $0.02 = $20
Illustrative subtotal: $638
The campaign charge applies whether or not each text is sent or delivered. Replies, opt-outs and automatic answers are charged separately at the same rates; email and other purchases are not included here.
The plan is billed monthly through Stripe. The setup, line and campaign charges total $138 and come out of your prepaid messaging balance. Amounts are before any tax. This is a charges example, not a checkout or top-up quote. Starting with no balance or credit line, one $100 top-up does not cover these $138 in charges. Top-ups start at $100. An automated send needs enough balance, plus any credit line extended to you, to cover its start charge and an allowance for replies, shown before you send. That reply allowance is not included in the $638 subtotal.

A dash means the row is not part of Operative: Creative Studio and the campaign website come with Kitchen Cabinet and War Cabinet and are not sold separately. Ad placement is billed at 10–15% of your ad spend, and the rate falls as the spend rises.
Pricing questions
Is there a contract?
No long-term contract. Every plan is month to month. You subscribe in the app with a card and can cancel anytime in the app under Plans → Manage or cancel subscription. Cancellation stops future renewals and takes effect at the end of the current billing period; access continues until then. Payments are non-refundable except where required by law, with no refunds or credits for partial periods.
Which plan should I start with?
First-time candidates and local races usually start with Operative. We recommend Kitchen Cabinet: it adds the model picker, Creative Studio, and a campaign website. War Cabinet adds Council Mode, which compares the models currently available to your organization and synthesizes one recommendation. You can upgrade as the race heats up.
Is it really nonpartisan?
Yes. Renegade Intel works for candidates of any party, independents, and ballot measures — same tools, same price, no questions about which side you’re on.
Can my whole team use it?
Yes. HQ lets you invite staff by email at real roles, and volunteers get their own console for phones, texts, and doors — without access to the rest of your operation.
What happens after Election Day?
Cancel the day after you win — or keep it running for governing, the next cycle, or your next client. Your data stays yours either way.
What does it cost to have you place our ads?
10–15% of your ad spend, and the rate comes down as the spend goes up — a big buy pays a smaller percentage than a small one. Our team places buys on Meta, Google, X, and programmatic through Basis, so you are not opening four ad platforms and getting rejected by half of them. Ad placement is on every plan, including Operative.
Why are texting and email billed separately?
Because they are not part of the plan: a text campaign send is charged once, when it starts, for every number on it that hasn't opted out, texted or not, and a poll is charged for every question, for every number on it that hasn't opted out, sent or not. Bundling them would mean a campaign that texts nobody subsidizes one that texts 200,000 people. Instead the rate card is public and identical on every plan: 2¢ per SMS segment (160 characters, or 70 with emoji), 10¢ a photo message, 15¢ a video message, a $99 one-time texting setup per committee, $19 a month for your texting number (plus $3 a month for any additional number you hold), and email from $25 a month by list size.
Do I need Creative Studio?
Not to run the campaign. Operative gives you seven modules — strategy, voter CRM, texting, email, field, fundraising, opponent intelligence and ad placement. Creative Studio is the half that makes the work: mailers, signs, video, voiceovers, copy, your brand kit and your campaign website. It comes with Kitchen Cabinet and War Cabinet. It is not sold as an add-on to Operative — if you need creative, Kitchen Cabinet is the plan.
How fast do you answer when something breaks?
Inside 24 hours, on every plan, including the $500 one. War Cabinet gets a direct line and white-glove onboarding on top of that — but nobody waits three days for an answer because they bought the cheaper tier.
Can you get us voter data?
Yes. Bring your own file at no charge — importing it is a core feature, not an upsell. If you need a fresh district file we source it at member pricing and handle the upload and the merge for you, so you are not reconciling a spreadsheet at midnight. Pricing depends on the district and the fields you need; ask us for a quote.
Is there a free trial?
No, and that is deliberate. Every plan is month to month with no contract, so the shortest commitment you can make is one month — cancel from your account page the day after you win, or the day after you decide it is not for you. The demo is the product: the whole tour runs inside the app.
